In today's rehearsal i believe i worked well with my fellow actors - communicating and discussing our characters objectives and super objectives. I believe i did push my self however i feel i could push my self more.
However i believe i could have taken more time to understand my character Yasha's objectives and the meanings of my lines, as not knowing this really hindered my performance and stopped me from living in the moment because i didn't feel comfortable with what i was saying. Although i felt like i had a good idea of my what my characters super objectives are, i feel like some of my objectives like 'to take the piss' and to 'irritate' i didn't quite understand in line with the context.
Next time i will insure i am fully comfortable and understand my objectives so that i can easily play and explore in rehearsal and be able to understand the meaning behind my characters actions.
I also feel like my group could have discussed less about what we are going to do or how we are going to do the scene and just allowed the moment to happen naturally. Although we did do this more so towards the end of the rehearsal i felt like if we had done this from the outset we could of had a better understanding of out characters objectives and would have been more free to explore.
As my character is a male, next time i want to in body my character more and work with my physicality, voice and objectives as a whole- allowing the text to ride the action. In order to do this i will research male physicality and look at similar people as Yasha.
